@LordAddictILPGame Pass changing is vital for Xbox to recover as a brand, in my opinion. There are a lot of things Xbox used to do that they simply don’t do anymore, and I think Game Pass is a big reason why. Xbox needs to focus on what is important the games

@GamesRadarXbox Game Pass is "extremely poorly managed" and Doom should never have been on it, says ex-producer https://www.gamesradar.com/games/xbox-game-pass-is-extremely-poorly-managed-and-doom-should-never-have-been-part-of-it-says-former-producer/

@Pirat_NationA former Doom producer has criticized how Microsoft has handled Xbox Game Pass, calling it “extremely poorly managed.” Andrew Willis, a former id Software producer who was affected by the Xbox layoffs, talked about Game Pass in a new interview with Kiwi Talkz. Willis says Microsoft never seemed to have a clear way of measuring the service’s success. Was it based on how many people installed a game, how long they played it, or whether they kept coming back? He also thinks DOOM: The Dark Ages shouldn’t have been on Game Pass, saying: “Doom should not have been on there. That was a stupid idea.”

@IdleSloth84_Andrew Willis (former Doom producer) has criticized how Microsoft has handled Xbox Game Pass, calling it “extremely poorly managed.” Willis says “Microsoft was ever able to figure out exactly how to measure the success of Game Pass”, Was it based on how many hours played, was it games installed, was it user retention?

@XBOXTIMDOGStill can be good but the rumor might be bullshit because of the timing. They are all In Japan why would they be talking about this now. I care more about physical and exclusivity

@Colteastwood@IdleSloth84_ Explain Forza Horizon 6 and Expedition 33, Silksong, Palworld, etc. It's not Game Pass. It's the GAMES.

@SenninsagePeople consciously want the Xbox One first-party days back lol where we got way less games, but they were exclusive. If Xbox Game Pass Day One goes away, here's the funny part. Not only will you NOT get those mega exclusives you wanted, you'll see fewer games and watch Xbox die.

@JayViperTVI've been saying it for a while, and here's a few clips with dates to prove it. Microsoft needs to STOP releasing their 1st party games to Game Pass on Day 1. Sell them. RUMOR: Game Pass may be lowering Game Pass to $19.99 and removing Day One first party titles. If true, this is the right move. There's also a slew of other changes proposed, including a Game Pass with ads. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
